144. What If It Were To-day?

1 Jesus is coming to earth again,
What if it were to-day?
Coming in power and love to reign,
What if it were to-day?
Coming to claim His chosen Bride,
All the redeemed and purified,
Over this whole earth scattered wide,
What if it were to-day?

Chorus:
Glory, glory!
Joy to my heart 'twill bring,
Glory, glory!
When we shall crown Him King;
Glory, glory!
Haste to prepare the way;
Glory, glory!
Jesus will come some day.

2 Satan's dominion will soon be o'er,
Oh, that it were to-day!
Sorrow and sighing shall be no more,
Oh, that it were to-day!
Then shall the dead in Christ arise,
Caught up to meet Him in the skies,
When shall these glories meet our eyes?
What if it were today? [Chorus]

3 Faithful and true would He find us here
If He should come to-day?
Watching in gladness and not in fear,
If He should come to-day?
Signs of His coming multiply,
Morning light breaks in eastern sky,
Watch, for that time is drawing nigh,
What if it were to-day? [Chorus]
